Take them all out with the gum explosive (Gum Explosive -1)

Au Revoir had told you she'd handle it, but you couldn't risk her safety against so many targets, especially not when you had the perfect device for clearing a room. Your swimsuit hadn't allowed you to smuggle in a gun or a grenade, but there was one device discrete enough to work in this kind of operation: an adhesive gum explosive, designed by CEDIT laboratories. The explosive could easily take out that entire room of Adder agents you'd seen, although it wouldn't leave much of them to search later. You asked Vaarvel to confirm one more time: she was certain that Adder Adjutant would have already escaped the room through a different pathway, right?

"Absolutely. Don't think they haven't considered the possibility that you have a big bomb," Vaarvel chuckled.

"Are we using the big bomb?!" Au Revoir asked, looking giddy. She may have been excited about getting to participate in some run and gun action, but she was just as hyped to see a huge explosion blow Adder agents to kingdom come.

"B-But the antidote-" Nora spoke up, only for Vaarvel to silence her by placing one finger to her lips and smirking.

"A non-issue. I guarantee it with 100% certainty: Adder Adjutant has fled elsewhere."

With that strangely confident reassurance imparted, you grabbed the gum adhesive from the band of your swim-trunks and pulled free the strip. In an alarmingly short number of seconds, the bomb would explode. You flicked the bomb off towards the entrance of the room at the end of the hallway, praying it had gone far enough to hit its intended targets. For a moment, you watched, until Vaarvel yanked you aside. You understood why soon enough; when the bomb went off, it rocked the entire boat and sent debris flying down the hallway. Au Revoir gave a loud cheer to accompany the shaking of the entire environment.

The effectiveness was clear; it was hard to imagine that any agents of Adder that had been waiting to charge you had lived through that. The inside of that room would be a horror show after an explosion of that magnitude. In fact, the ship probably couldn't withstand it either; you feared to imagine what you might have just done to the Palm of Royalty's backside. Finding Adder Adjutant and the antidote had just become a matter of preservation not just for the sake of apprehending the world's most wanted terrorist and freeing yourself from their whims, but also, to make sure you had ample time to exit the ship before it inevitably sank. If the bomb didn't do it, the resulting chaos from those armed terrorists who'd just heard the bomb certainly would.

"It wasn't the most discrete method, but you used your tools when they mattered. Good work, Ciao," Vaarvel congratulated you. "Now let's catch that snake."
